[DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FILED FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT U.S. COURT OF APPEALS ________________________ ELEVENTH CIRCUIT Sept. 16, 2009 THOMAS K. KAHN CLERK No. 09-10618 Non-Argument Calendar ________________________ D. C. Docket No. 07-00791-CV-4-VEH JAMES EDWARD SPENCER, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus TROY KING, GOVERNOR BOB RILEY, GENE MITCHELL, CHARLES ANDREWS, CHRISTOPHER MURPHY, TED E. SEXON, et al., Defendants-Appellees. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama _________________________ (September 16, 2009) Before TJOFLAT, EDMONDSON and CARNES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: James Edward Spencer, a pro se prisoner, appeals the district court s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. Although we construe pro se filings liberally, Spencer s appeal gives us very little to work with. Even assuming that Spencer has sufficiently raised any issues, his arguments all lack merit. The district court s order adopted the magistrate judge well-reasoned report and recommendation that rejected Spencer s multitude of arguments. We affirm for the reasons stated in that report and recommendation. AFFIRMED. 2
